Services Rendered.

SAN Francisco, July 16.-F w. Nor
they has commenced suit against r..
L. Morrow to recover $52, 900 for SER
vices alleged to have been rendered.
Northey was convicted recently of at
tempting to bribe the jury in the case
commenced by the widow of Edward
Wright against the Geary street rail
way company to recover damages for
the death of her husband, he having
been killed through the negligence of
that company. This was supposed to
end the matter SO far rs Northey is
concerned but he now commences the
present action against Morrow who is
a prominent stakeholder of the Geary
street railroad, and charges him with
being instigator of the attempted brib-
cry. Northey was owner of butcher
shop aud SAYS that Morrow came to
him offering him $1,000 for each juror
obtainable. After his conviction
Northey says his business was ruined
as everybody pointed him out as a
jury "fixer." He says he went to
Morrow who gave him $4,000, but
Northey says this does not in any
sense recompense him for the injury
inflicted upon him in business and in
a personal way and he therefore sues
to recover the amount stated. Nor

A Walla Walla Petition Denied
by the Com mission.

WASHINGTON, July ia motion
was made to-day to dismiss the COM
plants of the Walla Walla people
against the Oregon Railway and Navi-
CATION Company of excessive charges
for the transportation of grain to Port
land and was declined by the commits
sion. First, because notice was not
given to the complainants and, Sec
ond, because its object was to reach
the merits of the case and have them
discussed and passed upon summarily
instead of at the customary final hear
ing. The commission closes its
record upon the matter with para
graph of the general Interstate law as
follows. A practice thus to anticipate
by motion the final hearing, the
commission does not think advisable,
and would not therefore favor. 1t is
the desire of the commission that the
practice and proceedings in the cases
before them shall be consistent with
Justice and without dilatory motions.
Pleas in abatement or other interlocu-
tory proceedings of the matter in
question may be brought to an issue
at the earliest practicable day, when

then be entertained, whether juris-

the pistol with which she had done
the deadly work. She then went to
her room and took a large dose OF
morphine, but was arrested and

the poison could take effect. A
Doctor was summoned in time, but
she is unable to make any statement.

blonde about IS years of age, and her
widowed mother lives about seven

ASSOCIATED Press Dispatches to the Herald. !
WASHINGTON, July l6.-A general
principle of standing and of consider
able importance in the administration
of public land matters is re-affirmed
by Acting Secretary Muldrow in his
ruling on the case of James
Young regarding homestead
entry in Salt Lake City. Its
purport is that no amount of culti-
walton and improvement and no show
ing of good in other respects can atone
for the lack of actual residence upon
the land sought to be secured and that
even actual residence does not give
validity to the claim except in so far as
it shows an intention to make such a
residence permanent. Beyond the
requirement of the title Young had
cultivated fifty acres of his claim and
constructed irrigating bitches and
built a house in which he personally
lived and the improvements are valued
at from $1,000 to 1920. His family re-
mained upon place owned by him
forty miles distant and it was evident
that he designed to abandon his claim
as place of residence as soon as he
had made the sale secure. A contest
was made by one Van Nostrum, a
professional contestant, who purposed
gaining some preference rights and
selling them out. The local officer
and Commissioner decided for Young
and against Van Nostrum. and the
Acting Secretary orders a notification
of this decision. He says that while
Van Nostrum cannot acquire any
rights in the matter, the government
is not stopped from acting upon the
information it has gained and he di-
rects the cancellation of Young's
claim.

thorough investigation there is every
reason to believe that the Chinese
bodies found in the Snake river were

and not by whites or Indians, as was
at first supposed. There were two
rival factions mining in each others
vicinity for about year past and the
murdered party was known to have
possessed Of from $4,000 to $4,000 in
gold dust. From the appearance OF
the bodies so far recovered they were
shot in the back and mutilated by
cleavers, weapons in general use there
by the Chinese.
